Good Home Base

The place is a ways out of town but easily findable. We had everything we needed, and Gemma was great to connect with. The internet went down which made navigating & planning our day difficult, but Gemma had a fix ready by the time we returned for the day, and it worked out. All of her suggestions for places to check out were spot on. We had a short stay, but it was a good one.

A lovely property in a great location to explore the Ring of Kerry and Dingle peninsula. It is very rural and quiet. Gemma was very helpful and ready to answer any questions. The property would benefit from a freezer for guests who are self catering or staying longer.

The old school house is a wonderful place to stay. There was plenty of space for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfasts and dinners. The beds were very comfortable. And the host was very friendly.

Our stay here was amazing. The house was very cute and perfect for our needs. We didn’t have any issues with our stay and found all the amenities we needed. Our host, Gemma, went above and beyond with communication. Not only communicating about the property and the stay, but recommending places to eat and sights to see, and giving us valuable advice for destinations we had planned. Gemma even recommended places we didn’t think of and they turned out to be some of our favorite stops on our vacation. Gemma was excellent and the stay was perfect.

Hazardous location

Unfortunately our stay was marred by trucking transfers from this remote narrow laned “ idyllic location” of harvested hay at high speed past the house day and night. We have been to Ireland numerous times and are not neophytes to driving there. This is certainly not a choice I would repeat for a stay in “Killarney”.
